Beck remained silent, which made Miles assume he didn’t want to say anything because it wasn’t serious yet. Knowing he wouldn’t get an answer from Beck, Miles chuckled and crouched down to ask Shanice, “Shanice, how many times have you seen the lady who had lunch with you today? Do you know her name?
Beck’s grip on his glass tightened instantly, “Miles!”
Shanice didn’t understand the adults‘ intentions. She wasn’t very familiar with Miles, but since he was asking about Celeste, she thought about it seriously and answered without hesitation, “Three times!”
Miles continued, “And what’s her name?”
When Beck and Celeste met earlier that day, he didn’t even address her as “Ms. Rodriguez.” So Shanice, unable to recall her name, turned to Beck for help.
“Uncle Beck, what’s her name?”
Beck lowered his gaze. “Next time you see her, you can ask her yourself.”
Shanice beamed. “Okay!”
Miles muttered under his breath, “So stingy.”
Beck ignored him
Meanwhile, noticing how much Jordyn liked the crystal keychains, Shanice, though a little reluctant, still decided to give her one.
Jordyn accepted it with delight. “Thank you, Shanice!”
Wynin also expressed her gratitude.
Shanice smiled. “You’re welcome.”
Upon seeing how happy Jordyn was, she suddenly asked, “Je, aren’t you going to pick one for your mother too?” Jordyn hesitated for a moment, her voice dropping. “I’ll do that later.”
“Oh.”
After dinner, Celeste read for a while before heading to the bathroom to shower.
Just as he stepped out, her phone rang–it was Ivan.
“Cel, I just saw Ruby in the neighborhood.”
Hubry, as in Wynn’s maternal uncle’s wife?
Celeste froze for a moment, still processing the information, when Ivan continued, “At first, I didn’t think much of it, but then, after I got home, I noticed she went into the villa across from ours–the one that’s being renovated!
Celeste’s expression instantly shifted as she sat up on the bed.
Ivan was usually a calm person, but right now, his voice was laced with anger. “They are doing this on purpose!” Everyone in Baumond’s business circle knew that Trevor had helped the Locket family establish tha

Even though Rodriguez Corporation was struggling, Ivan was still part of that circle–of course, he knew about it. He had simply chosen not to mention it to Celeste, not wanting to upset her,
It was understandable if the Locket family planned to settle in Baumond permanently and needed to buy property.
But knowing full well that the Rodriguez family lived here, they had deliberately chosen a house right across from them. Who would believe that was a coincidence?
Celeste understood what Ivan meant.
Gripping her phone tightly, she said, “I’ll call Trevor.”
“Alright.”
If it had been about anything else, Ivan wouldn’t have asked Celeste to reach out to Trevor. But this was different.
If Ruby and the others really moved in, they would likely try to assert their presence every single day. And with Betty’s health already fragile, any added stress could be harmful.
After ending the call with Ivan, Celeste immediately dialed Trevor’s number. The phone rang for a while before someone finally picked up.
“Hello?”
It was Wynn’s voice.

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
I am again fed up with the storyline..it is just exhausting to keep reading only one side of story - where people are living in their own righteous bubble and assumptions....
